I ran to my computer when I saw the email on my iPad and typed as fast as I could. No go.
I do wonder if some people get the emails before others. A number of times I've received the email, looked on the website and the wine was gone.
This time I checked about 25 min after it was sent. There was a case of 2010 Clape Cornas in the offering. All bottles were sold.
Just like there are secret Gonon emails...

I'm assuming you are being facetious.

Huet Debut Pressée -- a foreign term to me, please explain.

1989 was such a fantastic vintage that Pinguet made a bunch of experimental lots that eventually were the components to the '89 Cuvee Constance. There was a Le Mont Debut Pressée, Le Mont Fin de Pressée, Clos du Bourg Temoin and Clos du Bourg Biodynamique (now called Essai Bio.)

Ah, sounds delightful. I like the Huet 'sweet' wine so much that, come a promising summer day, I will cook up a special menu that allows friends to compare and contrast the Cuvée Constance with as many examples of the 1ère trie wines as I can find.

And they were all corked.

A bit of an exaggeration, but we all know there's a high incidence of corked bottles in '89 Huet across the entire line. What do we think, around 25%?

In my experience, closer to 50%. But anecdotal, yadda yadda...

If anyone is willing to pay a high price ($200+), it looks like Crush has a few bottles of the various '89 component bottlings available on prearrival...

The older wine offerings have been interesting, but anyone who hasn't picked up some 2014 Clos Roche Blanche Pif should strike while they can. At Chambers now.

Thanks for the heads up. I will miss you, CRB.

A pair of older CRB Côts procured on the secondary market in gay Paree. Opened with reverence on successive fruit nights, but drunk with eyes open.
1998 CRB Côt 12.0%
Powerful aroma of leather, herbs and earth. Surprisingly tannic, with grainy, somewhat unpleasant tannins. Good weight and body, but a sense of something fatty around the tongue; glycerin, perhaps. Stabilized with food, but retained a certain peasant gruffness, not unattractive to honesty seekers.
2001 CRB Côt 12.0%
Subtler aroma of leather and herbs. Less tannic, but still a sense of something fatty around the edges. More rounded and pleasurable than the preceding, went down well with food. Appealing, though not more than the sum of its parts, as the mystique would have it.
Tasted them blind, would have sworn cab franc. With a twist, but still cab franc. My bad, of course.
